EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a proud cock Henny or Hennie game bird (Gallus gallus domesticus) standing next to his hen companion. The intricate details of their plumage are beautifully captured in this Victorian-era illustration by J.W. Ludlow, published in Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry in 1890. The image was later reproduced as a chromolithograph by Vincent Brooks Day & Son. Henny or Hennie game birds, also known as domestic fowl, were popular during the late 19th century due to their ornate plumage and their role in the hen craze and ornithological shows. This print showcases several exotic breeds, including the Carolina Duck (Anas carolinensis), Wood Duck (Aix sponsa), Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata), and possibly a Mattawa Leno, a breed known for its unique feathered crest. The Henny or Hennie game bird was not only admired for its appearance but also for its role in the sport of fowling. These birds were often bred for their size, color, and feather quality, making them highly sought-after specimens for collectors and exhibitors. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and the lush, green background create a captivating image that transports us back to the Victorian era and the height of the hen craze. This print is a testament to the fascination with exotic birds and the art of ornithological illustration during this time.
